No one wants to think about bed bugs, but the reality is they can enter any home—no matter how clean. Once they infest your mattress, they’re hard to get rid of and even harder to sleep through. That’s why a bed bug mattress protector is your first line of defense against infestation and discomfort.
At SmartSilk, we design our mattress protectors to shield your bed from unwanted pests while offering breathable, hypoallergenic comfort. With a natural silk lining and tightly woven cotton shell, SmartSilk protectors help prevent bed bug access while keeping your sleep environment cool and clean.
How a Mattress Protector Helps Prevent Bed Bugs
Acts as a Physical Barrier
SmartSilk’s mattress protectors feature a tightly woven cotton outer shell that forms a barrier against bed bugs. By fully encasing the mattress, the protector helps prevent bugs from getting in—or out—of the mattress, reducing the risk of infestation.
Zippered Protection That Seals In Safety
Our mattress protectors come with a secure, full-coverage zipper enclosure, which is crucial in stopping bed bugs from escaping or entering through seams. This design also ensures no gaps are left exposed for pests to exploit.
Adds Hypoallergenic and Moisture Control Benefits
While bed bugs are a top concern, our protectors also fight allergens, moisture, and dust mites. The natural tussah silk lining repels mold and mildew, while the breathable cotton outer shell promotes airflow to keep your bed dry—creating an inhospitable environment for pests and irritants.
